5 Reasons Why Chronic Pain is So Deeply Rooted

/in , , , /by

1. Past Injuries

Clients always seem so surprised when I tell them that each and every injury from a sprained ankle to major surgery affects their current state of health. The body has a framework and when there is a force applied to it, it can alter that framework changing its structure at a cellular level.

2. Overuse

We do the same activities, exercises or sports over and over again. We can incur some overuse.  Just like a car needs its tires rotated, so do our bodies in the form of varying what type of exercise as well as the intensity and duration we impose. Every exercise has its place but most of us jump into an activity ill prepared. When it comes to chronic pain we get into certain movement patterns and make the strong movements stronger and the weak ones weaker.

3. Plasticity

Our brains record pain activity. The more pain we have, the bigger our “brain maps” for pain get, often overriding the other activities that part of the brain is meant for. Chronic pain starts as a signal that something is wrong and becomes reinforced with each subsequent experience of pain.

4. Cellular Memories

When bad things happen, if left unresolved, that memory is stored in your cells. This memory creates a vibration that’s out of sync with “healthy cells” causing a glitch in how information and energy flow throughout the body. This can create pain over the long term.

5. Mechanics

Our bodies are adaptable and when there is a roadblock caused by an injury the body works around it. Much like a street closure makes you take the detour, your body will get the job done, just maybe not in the most favorable way to save your joints. This compensation pattern often goes uncorrected and can lead to chronic pain down the road.

I will leave you with a testimonial:

“After suffering with knee pain for fifteen years and trying to treat it every way I could find from physical to spiritual and not finding any long lasting relief I can say that after two Trame Vibational Therapy sessions my pain was gone and the strength that was non existent starting coming back into my whole left side”

What is Trame Vibrational Therapy?

/in /by

Q: When will I notice a change after a Trame Vibrational Therapy session?

A: You will experience immediate and long term results.

Some changes are immediate whereas some take time to integrate but they are long lasting. The most changes should occur within the first 7-10 days and continue for up to 40 days after a single session.

It is important to keep in mind the possibility of detox symptoms that need to be cleared out in the first 7-10 days. For example, a session may bring up an old injury to the surface to be cleared so you may feel more pain than usual but it will be short lived and leaves you with less pain in the end.

Q: How many sessions will I need to see results?

A total of 3-5 Treatments is typically recommended to experience positive and long lasting results.

General Guideline for Number of sessions required:

• Acute issues/symptoms:  3-5 sessions are recommended for most individuals

• Chronic issues/symptoms: Between 5-8 Sessions for more chronic issues

• Personal Growth: More than 8 Sessions are recommended for individuals on the spiritual growth path looking to expand their awareness and fully empower themselves as well as clear out past stress and trauma.

Q: How often do I have to do tTame to see results?

A: Trame can only be done Once every 3 weeks because:

  1. Your body is adjusting to its new alignment and increased information flow
  2. Possible Emotional/physical detox for 7-10 days after your session
  3. Changes in emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of self and relationship to others over the next  40 days

Important Note: Any detox symptoms won’t be as intense or last as long as they normally would. Symptoms only come up to be released.

Q: Who is Trame Vibrational Therapy geared towards?

A: At Apana Bodywork we are focusing on four groups of people:

  1. Grief and Loss Recovery
  2. Bouncing back from Chronic pain
  3. Healing from Anxiety and/or Depression
  4. Clearing out Stress & Trauma

Q: What does Trame Vibrational Therapy do?

A: Think of your Trame or framework as the 3D invisible blueprint of your body. Along your Trame, information and energy flows like a computer than runs every cell of your body.  The functioning of your body is dependant on the proper flow of information and energy along your Trame. When blockages occur on your trame, the information and energy flow is interrupted leading to any number of small symptoms to bigger issues in the body and mind.

This treatment powerfully clears out old blockages, stress and trauma at a cellular level that impede the flow of information and energy.  The analogy used is that of shaking a carpet.  If blockages are lying on the carpet, shaking it will clear off the blockages while restoring the normal frequency of your framework. It is a holistic treatment so your individual results will vary but you will experience change.  You may experience change physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually or all of the above.

For example, some migraine sufferers no longer experience migraines after 3 sessions.  Others become empowered to speak up for themselves and still others have less or no pain in their body amongst other changes.

The improvement is unique to you and how the build-up of blockages are affecting your body, mind and soul.

Q: What causes blockages in the first place?

A:  The beauty of Trame Vibrational Therapy is that it helps to powerfully clear out stresses, traumas and negative beliefs  that are stored as emotions in the body. Emotions are energy in motion so when they are suppressed or unresolved they become trapped in the body affecting it’s proper function.

Q: What is involved in a Trame Vibrational Therapy?

A:  A Trame Vibrational Therapy session consists of a brief series of questions about your goals for treatment in order to track progress.  You lie fully clothed on a massage table where a series of 16 hand positions are gently placed on your body for a clearing 45 minute hands on treatment. No feedback is offered and no physical manipulation takes place however your body does readjust during a session.  It is a truly powerful and unique way to affect change on all levels.

Q: What can I expect to feel during a session?

A: You may feel tingling, hot, cold, twitching, floating sensations or emotional release.   All of these sensations are the body’s way of releasing cellular blockages and is completely normal. You may feel shifting or moving in your body as it adjusts to its new alignment.

Regardless of your experience during the session this treatment is powerful and works to optimize the blueprint of your body on the deepest level. Clients are impressed at how relaxed they feel after a session.

Q: Do I need to believe in this for it to work on me?

A:  It doesn’t matter if you’re open to it or not this therapy will work regardless. This treatment does not involve the mind so it works on believers and non-believers alike.  Many non-believers become believers once they experience powerful results for themselves.

 Q: Who developed Trame Vibrational Therapy?

A: Patrick Burensteinas developed Trame Vibrational Therapy in 1990 based on his work in alchemy and quantum physics. He began his lab research based on the question: “How do all cells in your body know where to go and what to do? What is governing the body’s ability to function? “ He researched for over 20 years and practiced this technique on 20,000 people before teaching his technique to other practitioners. There are currently only 3 practitioners in Ontario with many others in Europe and Montreal.

Q: How much does a session cost?

A: a session is $120 (incl. tax)

*Payment plans are always available.

Adaptation to Stress: It’s Not Your Friend

/in , /by

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

We are amazing creatures that can adapt to almost any situation. We adapt to war. We come home with PTSD but we adapt to war. So think of the smaller wars we fight within ourselves and those around us every day.

Don’t we need some help getting ourselves “back to normal” after a particularly stressful period in our lives? Maybe you’ve suffered a loss and feel nothing will ever be normal again. Maybe you’re in so much pain emotionally that you’ve shut down or perhaps you manage kids, work, husband and you and it’s time to clear out some stress.

Every person that I’ve spoken to that has gone through a trauma said: “I was in survival mode”. Survival mode is just another word for stress.

Although this is the body doing its thing of adapting to a situation, it’s also not appropriate over the long term.

Stress/survival mode + time= unhappy camper

The truth is we often don’t notice our state when were in it. We carry on as we always do. It’s our nature to get on with life. It’s survival.

Is survival mode really the best way for us to get all that we want in this life?  Think back to a really productive day at work/home. Was it a day you were really stressed or were you in that sweet spot where you were aware and relaxed at the same time?

I’ve spent my whole like searching for ways to heal on all levels. I’ve spent a small fortune on this endeavor and I’ve finally found something that can help you heal on all levels pretty darn quickly I might add.

Trame Vibrational Therapy works and I want to spread the word so people can stop feeling the way they do unnecessarily.

It’s for the people that are stuck and want to move forward in their lives.

It helps you heal from old emotional wounds, beliefs and traumas like I’ve never seen.

I know someone who has to live apart from his two kids. It is heart wrenching but the situation is so complex that he can only see them once a year.  This man was as we spiritual types like to call a “non-believer”. He believes that he can manage the stresses in his life and that he will, in time, let it all go and feel better. What a great belief but why not get some help in letting that heavy stuff go?

After one Trame session this tattoo clad man was a believer. He didn’t miss his kids any less but he accepted that he wouldn’t be able to be there for them physically but that he would be there for them in other ways.

As I always say: You don’t know how good you can feel until you feel that good again. The reality is that we forget. We adapt.

I encourage you to take a snapshot of your life and see if you want to improve upon it.

Adaptation to stress is great over the short term, but it will mess with your life over the long term. Don’t let it.

Event: Clearing out Stress & Trauma at a Cellular Level

/in , /by

clear out stress at a cellular level - Apana Bodywork AuroraYou’ve heard me share about my new healing technique Trame Vibrational Therapy and how instrumental it was in getting me back to ‘normal’ after the whole ordeal I went through with Zoe.

My studies are done, for now, and I’m ready to start spreading the word on how this therapy can help you or someone you care about to facilitate their transformation.

Specifically I’m focusing on:

  • Healing from Grief & Loss
  • Mitigating Anxiety/Depression
  • Long Term Stress Reduction
  • Bouncing back from Caregiver burnout

All these things I’ve experienced and observed significant improvement by the use of Trame Therapy.  I’ve experienced being stuck in many of these states and how dramatically Trame Vibrational Therapy can clear out stress and trauma to give you a fresh outlook.

I’d like to invite you to an event taking place in Newmarket on April 13th at 7pm at Nature’s Emporium (16655 Yonge St.). I’ve attached a poster with all the details or you can find it here on facebook.

Many things are close to my heart. Trame is one of them because if it wasn’t for this healing I’d still be in the lost and hurt state I was in after everything happend with Zoe. Trame helped empower me and heal from all the deep cellular memories that were running the show of my life.

Spring is a time for new beginnings and why not start yours now?

How to Quickly Heal from Accumulated Stress

/in , /by

heal from accumulated stressThere’s no reason to hide it. You know that you haven’t been sleeping well or dealing with stress particularly great lately.

The longer we try to deny it, the more it affects us. Annoying, isn’t it? But isn’t stress the reality of life?

Yes and no. Yes you are going to endure stress forever and ever but the way you handle it canchange dramatically.  Personally I’ve experienced going from a 10/10 stress to a 1/10 stress level after only one Trame Vibrational Healing session.

It’s actually the reason I became trained in it.

Before my session I didn’t even realize that I wasn’t really enjoying music that much. I knew I couldn’t fall asleep easily but I thought I was managing it quite well ( I wasn’t). I would take melatonin to sleep or wait until I was so exhausted I knew I would pass out.  And I had breakouts all over my body. Hey, it’s just stress, it’s normal!

No it isn’t.

I think it’s time that we raise the standard of what wellness looks and feels like.

So, being in the healing field for about a decade now, I was open to trying new things. I had met a couple healers at a networking event and one in particular stood out. She was so calm. I mean really calm. To the point that I thought she was from another planet. How could she have two kids, be divorced yet be this calm?

It made me interested in what she was doing so I tried a Trame healing. I didn’t reallly know what it was or how it worked but what I did know was that something had to change. I knew I wasn’t living in the way I wanted to and I didn’t really feel like myself anymore.

After one session I got into my car and felt completely calm. It wasn’t the transient calm that follows a massage or a nap, it was this deep unending calm. As I turned the music on I realized that I was really into this song.  That was different. Actually, I hadn’t enjoyed music like this in years. I felt liberated. When I got home, I wanted to snuggle with my husband and dance with my daughter. This also wasn’t something I ususally wanted to do. I was always too overwhelmed to enjoy the simple things.

I had to learn this technique, and pass it along to my family, friends and clients.

So far, the results I’ve seen are decreased stress (significantly) as well as the ability to manage stress much better. Most report an increase in energy combined with more realistic expectations of themselves. It’s only the beginnig so stay tuned more findings!

I feel compelled to share this with individuals who experience chronic stress. It can make a huge difference in how you feel and it’s worth every penny.

Could You Have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?

/in , , /by

post-traumatic stress disorderI may not have gone to war but I felt like a warrior. I had dreams that woke me sweating and gasping for breath. I was living but I wasn’t really living. I knew I wasn’t in a good state but I didn’t know that I could be experiencing a form of PTSD.   Does this feeling sound familiar? I hope not but if it does…this is what changed everything for me.

I’ve tried writing about the way my daughter was born about a million times now. Every time I stop. I just get stuck. I can’t finish it. In this context it is to help others that have not lost someone but are going through all the same grief as if they had.  It’s called anticipatory grief and I specialize in helping people past the toughest times in their life.

I believe we can heal on all levels and that will ultimately help us be and relate to others with more and more love.  I also believe that even though life can throw us some serious challenges, we can come through it better than we were before, More connected, more empathetic, more open, more loving and healthier on all levels.

Are you caring for a mother with Alzeimers disease?  Are you married to a partner with a terminal illness? In my case a mother who is caring for a child who is expected to slowly die. None of these situations are easy. You have to go on doing all the things you normally do because they need you but there is this massive sense that nothing is okay. It is soul rattling. My heart goes out to anyone going through something similar and it is my hope that those people will ask for help because the sick person gets all the help and the support person is left to deal with it on their own.

I was lost.

I felt as a new mom that all of my friends were so far away, living a totally different life. Even when a friend did reach out, I didn’t know how to be close with them. When anyone would ask how my daughter was doing I would just say: “she’s great!” It wasn’t the truth, it was the only thing I could get out of my mouth in order to stay positive. For friends of someone going through something difficult you don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be there.  People naturally want to help but are often too scared that they will say or do the wrong thing

It’s not about saying all the right things and getting approval, it’s about being there. Imperfectly. There is a line of empathy cards for awkward moments that say things like: “I’m so sorry you’re sick. I promise I won’t try to sell you on some random treatment I found on the internet”(emilymcdowell.com/collections/empathy-cards) .

So often we make it about us, but it has nothing to do with us. It isn’t personal.

Often those that are going through a trauma like this are depressed or anxious but it’s hard to know what is the situation versus what is you. After all who can be happy while going through this? You may not expect to feel like yourself and over time you slowly lose who you are as a result. It’s kind of like aging. When you have aches and pains in your body it’s so easy to say: Oh well, I’m just getting older but a lot of those aches and pains could be alleviated or prevented. Same goes for someone’s mental state during a trauma, they don’t expect to feel happy or grateful, so they let it go and over time, they may stop expecting to be happy.

My mission is to help people that are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder so that they can reclaim who they are and feel empowered to take care of themselves again.

If you feel like you’ll never feel like yourself again there is so much help out there.

On my end I’ve tried and felt amazing results from daily Qi Gong practice, La Trame Vibrational Therapy, Reiki Healing, Life Activation and most recently Reconnection Healing. That’s my route. The healing route. Maybe you’re more comfortable with talk therapy. In that case I would suggest a therapy that deals with the subconscious mind because, in my experience, the only way to get beyond the surface of the issues and make real change is to go deeper than the conscious mind.

Whatever you choose, it doesn’t much matter to me as long as you seek help and get the support you need to feel like yourself again.

With the deepest love in my heart I wish healing for all those going through a trauma like I have.
